Nobody likes him who isn't paid to like him. Even Roy Cohn didn't like him, said about him "That guy pisses ice water." They won't remove him until he's served the rest of his purpose, and they're really taking their time on that to avoid the optics that early removal would bring. They can't piss off his idiot hordes until they've reprogrammed them, or they might not get re-elected.

The first DACA arrest has been made by ICE. This is a dude who was brought to the US at the age of 7 and has little recollection of his country of origin. He also has no criminal history, despite ICE's unproven claims that he is "gang-affiliated." So that's an end to the Obama era of prioritizing dudes with criminal records for deportation. Now La Migra is just gunning for everybody.

The Great Mexican-Stomping has begun.

In other news, while 30% of Latino voters went for Trump in November, his approval rating among Latinos has already fallen to 20%. Wonder how long it'll take to drop to near-zero?

Sounds like it is beginning to dawn on a few of the Trump Chumps that they may possibly have voted wrong. Really, really wrong.

Butt Trumpet and his micro-dick white boy minions are the worst collection of thugs to ever run this country. They are running it into the ground and it will take another proud, well-endowed black man to clean up their damage.

I really don't understand how conservatives and tr**p lovers can even remotely believe he will be re-elected in 2020. Sure, there are those who will always support his moronic and damaging policies, but a good number of the people who voted for him last year will have moved on from his administration's lunacy by then.

It will probably depend on two things:1) Whether he is still in office then, and2) What kind of vote cheating legislation they manage to get passed. This applies not just to Trump, but to any Republican who runs in 2020.

Bush shouldn't have won in '04, either, but they cooked up a bunch of bigotry (anti-gay marriage amendments to state constitutions), brazen lies (swiftboating bullshit), poltroonery (terror threat level color change bullshit), and straight up cheating (see also: Blackwell, Ken) and won by a handful more votes than Hillary did this time.

” Is anyone here ever going to say why Russia is so bad? Or is it that y'all don't fucking know, and only claim they're bad because your white corporate media masters tell you that they're bad?

We all know it's the latter, but maybe someone here can break their conditioning and speak independently.”

Yeah he’s right. We don’t know nuffin’ about nuffin’ cuz we real stooopid, we don’t know nuffin about why Russia is bad. Nuffin’ at all

Except that somewhere in the white part of my brain I seem to dimly remember a couple of thinggggssss…

1. The Second Chechen War, in which Russia launched a massive air and land campaign reduced the Chechen capital Grozny to rubble and killed a minimum of 25,000 civilians.

2. Russia has funded, supplied and aided the Russian and pro-Russian terrorists in eastern Ukraine. So far, they have been responsible for10,000 lives lost.

3. The illegal annexation of the Crimea.

4. Russia’s proxies shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 on July 17, 2014, killing 298 innocent people aboard. A Dutch investigative team demonstrated that the BUK surface-to-air missile system that destroyed the plane over Ukraine, was sent from Russia to Russian-backed separatists and returned to Russia the same night.

5. Russia’s bombing of Syria’s civilian population and targets are widely seen as war crimes. This prompted U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power to ask her Russian counterpart:

“Is there no act of barbarism against civilians, no execution of a child, that gets under your skin? That just creeps you out a little bit? Is there nothing you will not lie about or justify?”

6. Putin’s friend-turned-enemy Alexandr Litvinenko, was poisoned by the KGB who slipped Polonium into his tea at a London hotel restaurant.

7. Then there was something about stealing America’s elections, but I’m sure you know more about that than me…

As I say, that’s just off the top of my white head, I’m sure I could think of a few more, if you need them.

Brigade Fifteen sez- Sounds like it is beginning to dawn on a few of the Trump Chumps that they may possibly have voted wrong. Really, really wrong

But you can't remind these stupid bastards how stoopid they were. It hurt their widdle feelers and then they vote for Drumpf again to get revenge on the rest of Drumpf's victims that didn't vote for Drumpf.

Russia gets much cozier with Drumpf, Israel will start squealing like a stuck pig. Israel has been dragging the US around by the nose for just about forever plus we give them billions of bucks every damn year to be their bodyguards. And then Israels spits in our face and steals secrets and who knows what all else.

Tell me, Einsein why these three states that use abstinence only education, if any sex education at all have the three highest rates of teen preggers? It is because something is not working and that something is yer fucking Mexican jumping bean brain, amirite, racist? :)

moron from iowa said...Tell me, Einsein why these three states that use abstinence only education,----

Teen pregnancy is largely due to cultural factors. The corellation by state is almost entirely due to demographic factors. The higher the non-white population, the higher the teen pregnancy rate. The demographics for the three states you cited:

Mississippi has the highest percentage black population of any state, at 37%

New Mexico has the highest percentage Hispanic population of any state, at 46%

Texas has the second highest percentage Hispanic population of any state, at 38%

And to your point, while 37 states require abstinence education be provided, there are no states that have abstinence only education alone; all 50 states provide education on birth control.

"Russia gets much cozier with Drumpf, Israel will start squealing like a stuck pig.

Israel has nothing to worry about. Russia isn't on the side of occupied Palestinians; Putin couldn't care less about their welfare. So there's no reason to assume friendlier US-Russia relations will come at any cost to Israel. And all Benjamin Netanyahu wants is that the US: 1) Keep defending Israel against economic sanctions in the UN, 2) Keep sending buttloads of weapons, 3) Turn a blind eye while Israel gobbles up the West Bank.

Trump has satisfied Netanyahu tremendously on the last point. Trump came out and expressly said, unlike any US president before him, that a two-state solution in Israel Palestine is not necessary: "I'm looking at two-state and one-state, and I like the one that both parties like."

This was undoubtedly music to Netanyahu's ears. He wants a one-state solution: One all-Jewish state, inclusive of the West Bank territory, with the Arabs told to eff of and die somewhere else. Trump is giving him the go-ahead for ethnic cleansing. What's not to like?

Yeah. It's up ... in Rassmussen polls -- and only their polls. Among everyone else, Trump's approval is plummeting.

Wonder why. Oh yeah, now I remember: Rasmussen is a wingnut outfit. And apparently, they've moved past their past habit of merely nudging their numbers slightly rightward to now being full-on "post-truthers."

No stoopid, Jose. Teen preggers is a sex thing. Give the young ones the proper education and the tools to help avoid and they don't get preggers as often. Problem well on the way to being solved, Einstein.

The Rasmussen Reports and the Pew Research Center released wildly different approval ratings for President Trump on Thursday.

Rasmussen's daily Presidential Tracking Poll found a 55 percent approval rating for Trump among voters. But Pew Research Center only found Trump with 39 percent support — a 16 point-difference between the two polls.

Brigade Fifteen wins.

Donnie Drumpfuck is whining about being a victim again and of course he drags out the tired old argument he won the electoral college by a landslide. He pulled the same shit out of his ass yesterday. And his job is so hard. Wah fucking wah. He can always quit.

Awwww yeah, it’s time for some XXX Poll Porn! Now, please note that this new survey from Pew Research was conducted before Donald Trump stepped on his own dick, mashed it up and ate it in a Trump Taco Bowl during his Thursday press conference, so these numbers are likely to tank even further.

That being said, Donald Trump has a 39% approval rating LOLOLOLOL OMG WTF HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A BIGGER LOSER IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE? Like, this is unheard of for new presidents. Now, during Trump’s presser, he bragged about that outlier Rasmussen poll that showed him with a 55% approval rating, but all sentient beings know Rasmussen is bullshit, and only exists to give fake news rimjobs to Republicans. Pew, on the other hand, is for grown-ups with normal-sized hands.

Did anyone notice today was the Day Without Immigrants? I just heard about it, and I didn't notice anything. Actually, it was kind of quiet and nice today. Maybe we should try a Week Without Immigrants, or even Year Without Immigrants and see how that goes.

Why do I suspect that Trump will simply issue a new anti-Muslim order that will be just as hateful and unconstitutional, but worded slightly differently, and the entire exercise of massive protests and lawsuits will repeat itself?

The whole impetus for his presidency is hate, so be prepared for the hate to continue until he is removed. Trump is not going to "mellow," no matter how much opposition he faces.

Kate Steinle said- most of the restaurants around DC were shutdown because they depend on immigrant labor and were sending wingnuts a message. I'll bet nearly all of the mangled apricot's properties would shutdown w/o immigrant labor.

Hispanic Congressional Caucus asked for a meeting with ICE and then wingnuts forced them out of the room so they couldn't ask questions. Wingnuts sure are piling up a lot of misery for themselves and the country.

Congressional Black Caucus wanted a meeting weeks ago with Drumpf and couldn't get one. Now he is trying to get a black female reporter to set up a meeting with them.

Money is nice, but being able to speak my mind is better.

"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)" ~Philebrity~

"One of the most precocious and hilarious Black political minds on the net. Ive been a long-time fan!" ~Asad Malik~

"..While most of what he writes is tongue-in-cheek, his space is a safe house for candid discussions about race, especially in the comments section, where people of all colors meet."~~Daniel Rubin, "The Philadelphia Inquirer"~~

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

~~Richard Fausset, "L.A. Times"~~~

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"Half a century after Little Rock, the Montgomery bus boycott and the tumultuous dawn of the modern civil rights era, the new face of the movement is Facebook, MySpace and some 150 black blogs united in an Internet alliance they call theAfroSpear.

Older, familiar leaders such as Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond, are under challenge by a younger generation of bloggers known by such provocative screen names as Field Negro, thefreeslaveand African American Political Pundit. And many of the newest struggles are being waged online."~Howard Witt-The Chicago Tribune~

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together." ~Chicago Tribune Reporter, Howard Witt~
